Trustees’ Report
Review of objectives and activities
Huntingdonshire Philharmonic (the “Society”), also known as Hunts Phil, was established to promote the appreciation by the public of the arts and sciences, and in particular the arts and sciences of music, by the presentation of concerts and other activities. The Society delivers on its objectives by giving performances of choral and instrumental music in Huntingdon and the surrounding area to the highest musical standards attainable by its performing members who are in the main local amateur or professional musicians not engaged principally in public performance alone.
In addition to our musical performances, we support the Huntingdonshire Children's Charity "Dreamdrops" (http://dreamdropschildrenscharity.org/), under the umbrella of Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust’s charity. This local charity raises funds to provide services and equipment (where it is not covered by NHS public funds) for children being nursed in the local community, children in Hinchingbrooke Hospital, along with families and front-line staff. We continue to support this charity by inviting Dreamdrops members to attend our concerts, where they can sell raffle tickets, hold 'bucket collection' at the end of the concerts, or other fundraising activities. They also help the Hunts Phil by selling programmes.
Achievements and performance
In accordance with our objectives, the Society has continued to give performances of choral and orchestral music to a high standard and which have received warm and enthusiastic reviews from our audience, which is mainly drawn from the Huntingdon area. With the help of our volunteers, we were able to put on two fundraising pop-up quiz social events at St Peter’s Church, Kings Ripton, PE28 2NL, on 6 September 2024 and 14 June 2025.
Six concerts were staged during the year and are summarised in the table below. Concert production and general administration of the Society would not be possible without volunteers’ help across a wide range of activities.

Financial Review
Summary
The Society recognised a surplus before investment gains or losses of £6,077 (2024: loss of £10,131).The current year surplus is due to both increased income from subscriptions and fundraising and reduced expenditure, particularly on concert expenditure. The loss in the previous year was largely the result of an aggregate loss on concerts over the season of £11,565 which was significantly higher than in previous seasons, resulting from expensive repertoire. Further details of the significant items from the financial review are provided in the following sections.
Concert income: £14,607 (Prior year: £15,997)
Concert income has exceeded budget by c.£800, however has fallen relative to the prior year, due largely to an overall reduction in ticket sales, and a decision to stop selling professionally printed programmes. Whilst ticket sales reduced overall, the reduction was not spread evenly over all concerts. As expected, repertoire appears to be a factor in drawing audiences.
6
Huntingdonshire Philharmonic Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025
The Society has actively promoted concerts in traditional and social media and offered a range of discounted options to attract the public. Whilst the traditional season ticket scheme has not been offered this year, multiple purchase discounts have been offered through online ticketing and the take-up is good..
Subscriptions: £18,825 (Prior year: £14,010)
Income from membership subscriptions is a vital source of income to fund rehearsal costs and the costs of administration. The trustees took the decision to maintain the membership subscription at £160 for the year to 31 July 2024 and due to rising costs the subscription was increased at £190 for the year to 31 July 2025.
Donations and gifts: £2,791 (Prior year: £2,387)
The trustees are very grateful for the support received from members in the form of additional donations and gifts which are an important supplement to membership subscriptions.
Gift Aid: £3,871 (Prior year: £3,482)
Gift aid has been reclaimed on eligible donations as well as eligible membership subscriptions treated as donations. There was a drive to publicise the option to make gift aid declaration, resulting in an increase in the amount that could be claimed in the current year.
Expenditure on charitable activities: £35,669 (Prior year: £46,851)
Concert expenditure
Concert expenditure was within budget due partly to new orchestra members and to a general focus on cost control. The Trustees continue to monitor costs and seek opportunities to make reductions, whilst striving to maintain high quality performances and interesting and varied repertoire.
Rehearsal fees
Rehearsal fees represent fees paid to professional musicians for conducting rehearsals, leading the orchestra and accompanying the choir.
Rehearsal fees vary from year to year depending on the number of rehearsals scheduled for each season and reflect the mix of professionals that work with the Society.
Choir music hire
During the year to 31 July 2025, a proposal for the Society to absorb the costs of hiring vocal scores was approved at the AGM. Previously, it had been the practice for the Society’s choir members to contribute to the cost of hire of vocal scores. During the year, hire costs for vocal scores totalled £778 (prior year: £571) and choir members contributed £nil (prior year: £444) towards these costs.
The Future
The Trustees are pleased to report that a large portion of the loss sustained in the year to 31 July 2024 has been reversed in the current year through attention to repertoire and a welcome growth in new members. The Society continues to operate in a high cost environment and hence the Trustees’ focus continues to be on retaining and improving membership numbers, whilst maintaining costs at a sustainable level. In an effort to achieve this, the Trustees are trialling different venues and alternative concert formats for the forthcoming season, which, if successful, will further strengthen the Society’s financial health ahead of its 50[th] anniversary year in 2027. The Trustees are planning a season of special events and concerts to mark this occasion, with particular emphasis on involvement of young people.
Investment powers
These are governed by the Society’s Constitution which permits funds to be invested at the discretion of the Trustees.

Reserves
The Society’s reserves at 31 July 2025 stand at £45,666 (prior year: £39,651). The reserves policy operated by the Society is to maintain reserves at an amount to cover 12 months of operational expenditure, which excludes concert expenditure. The Trustees regard this as a prudent provision.

Independent Examiner’s Report
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Huntingdonshire Philharmonic
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025 which are set out on pages 10 to19.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2025
1. Basis of preparation
1.1. Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note to these accounts.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP) preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2. Going concern
The trustees have reviewed the budget for the year and are satisfied that there is sufficient funding in place for the charity’s activities over the next twelve months. The budget assumes that sufficient volunteers are available to support the Society in carrying out administrative and concert management activities and the Trustees continually strive to ensure there are sufficient volunteers to support these activities.
2. Accounting policies
2.1. Income
Recognition of income
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
-
The charity becomes entitled to the resources
-
The Trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources and
-
The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability
Incoming Resources with related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only recognised in the SOFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
12
Huntingdonshire Philharmonic Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025
Legacies
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Volunteer Help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.
Donated Goods
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income from donations when receivable.
Income from interest and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from membership subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies .
Investment gains and losses
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
2.2. Expenditure and Liabilities
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Governance costs
Governance Costs include the costs of the trustees’ meetings.
13
Huntingdonshire Philharmonic Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025
2.3. Assets
Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost.
Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the costs of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows:
Instruments: 20% reducing balance
Equipment: 20% straight line
Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end.
Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
Current asset investments
The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
Bank deposits are held at the cash amount of the deposit.
